Forward and enticing, this is a mouthcoating and slightly thick red. Its hedonistic concentration may make it polarizing, but it has very good support. Tangy goji berry and sweet dried strawberry fuel the palate. Subtle notes of pencil ss, mirin and spice box add layers. Juicy in feel, with sleek tannins and integrated acidity, this is a delicious, irresistible and well-balanced wine. Drink now–2024.
